Will their children cry

When their mother dies

And in the autumn of their lives

Will they feel the same?

"I see you

My sweet Satan

Come back tonight

Out of the courtyard"

Her longing for me

Comin' down like hail

Why did you leave me?

Come here inside

And tell me how

How in my final days

I've found her out

The light comes on

The signal for us to end our lives

You wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever

The night comes on

Your weakness starting to erase all your lies

So I left you alone

We all left you alone

"They'll lock all your reasons why"

Lock the children away from harm

They'll lock all your reason why

Seeking tenderness with a dagger

Skin is blocked by the years of trial

You felt abandoned in the fog of flesh

Sitting in place from the dead

Awaiting the face of the moon to ascend

You follow the siren in your head

In your head
